This period not only witnessed radical changes in both foreign and domestic policies but also a deep change in cultural and social life. The radical change of political authorities, economic policies, and foreign relations brought a new dimension to urban life in Ankara, the capital of the country. Focused on the Turkish-American associations that were formed in Ankara in the post-war era, this paper explores how the Turkish-American rapprochement influenced social life in Ankara and how such associations and societies shaped Turkish-American relations. In addition to the activities of these associations and societies, through an examination of the individuals who became prominent members in the associations, a cultural analysis of Ankara in the early Cold War is also presented. In short, while this study takes up the urban life in Ankara from 1945 to 1955, which has been neglected by the existing literature, from a comprehensive perspective, it also argues that Geliş tarihi Received : 16.07.2018 Kabul tarihi Accepted : 04.09.2018 Hakemli Makale n Refereed Article Erken Soğuk Savaş Döneminde Türk-Amerikan Yakınlaşmasının Ankara Kent Kültürüne Etkileri* The Effects of the Turkish-American Rapprochement on Ankara City Culture during the Early Cold War** DOI: 10.5505/jas.2018.03522 * Bu çalışmaya konu olan araştırma 2017 yılı Koç Üniversitesi-VEKAM Kütüphanesi ve Arşivi Araştırma Ödülü’ne hak kazanmıştır. ** The research covered in this work was prepared for the Koç University-VEKAM Library and Archive Research Award in 2017.

Savaş yıllarına kadar, Türkiye ile Sovyetler Birliği arasında stratejik bir dostluk vardır. İki devlet arasındaki iktisadi, kültürel ve sosyal ilişkiler, iki dünya savaşı arası dönemde gittikçe artmıştır (Hirst, 2013, ss. 32-53). Aynı yıllarda Türkiye’nin Batılı devletler ile kurduğu ilişkiler ise görece sınırlı kalmış, özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) ile kurduğu ilişkiler, dönem boyunca oldukça düşük bir seyir izlemiştir. Öyle ki, 1917’de, Birinci Dünya Savaşı yıllarında, son bulan Türk-Amerikan diplomatik ilişkileri, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşundan yaklaşık üç buçuk yıl sonra, 1927 Şubat’ında tekrar kurulmuştur (Kurat, 1959, ss. 43,44). 1927’den sonra da Türk-Amerikan ilişkileri kısıtlı kalmıştır. Örneğin, ABD, Ankara’da bir elçilik açma fikrinden uzun süre uzak durmuştur. 1936 yılı","PeriodicalId":30717,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Arastirmalari Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no information about the poet’s life among the biographical sources of Ottoman literature. When Razi’s historical poetry is investigated, it is discovered that he was born in 1668-1669 and died after 1740-1741. Looking closer at Râzî’s poems, it can be deduced that he lived his whole life in Ankara. Moreover, we understand that he was a dervish of the Mevlevî and Bayramî orders. For now, he is known only by a single collection of poetry and there is no information if he wrote any other book. His divan poetry is in manuscript form and only one copy has reached the present day. He generally wrote mystical poems. The most important thing about Râzi’s poems is the information he gives about eighteenth century Ankara. We have almost no knowledge about the social and cultural life of Ankara in the Ottoman period. In Râzî’s collection of poetry, there are 42 poems written about Ankara, making his poetry an important resource. In this sense, it can be accepted as Râzi’s works are a treasury of information about the history and culture of Ankara.","PeriodicalId":30717,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Arastirmalari Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He served the Ottoman state in the first quarter of the 20th century, and provided a noteworthy contribution to Ankara in the Early Republican era. Mongeri carried out his first visit to Ankara in 1897. His observations of the era are extremely interesting. Mongeri’s notes on this visit were published over a few weeks in the 25th volume of Illustrazione Italiana journal, which rarely sees daylight nowadays and is barely spoken of in the Ankara research literature. As a contribution to Turkish publications about Ankara, this study aims to evaluate this visit and compare it from various perspectives to other publications and the Ankara of today.

On certain issues, Mongeri was not well informed, but on many others his deep interest in history emerges thanks to the education he had received in Milan. These travel notes may catch the eye as showing from an earlier age the basics of the historicist approach he would take in his professional life as a historian..","PeriodicalId":30717,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Arastirmalari Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical framework of the study is based on Appadurai’s “global cultural flow” model. The ethnoscape, finanscape, mediascape, technoscape and ideoscape of Ankara music is examined in accordance with this approach to reveal the dynamics that make this music different. In the light of these findings, it is concluded that the ethnoscape of Ankara music is based on a broad demographic coalition that has created an independent music industry with a finanscape depending on production, distribution and consumption. While this type of music is represented through a network-based social structure, it gains legitimacy outside its bounds within the media environment. The “Ankara” genre and its quest for authenticity described in this work reveal the ideoscape of the new Ankara music.","PeriodicalId":30717,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Arastirmalari Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
